I'm looking into all the things I'd like to have to go along with a nitrous kit and I think a gauge pod would be a nice toy to have along with my happy gas. The thing is I'm not sure what gauges would be the most useful or what type to get (mechanical or electric?). Anyone have any tips on what would be the most useful types to get? I was thinking at lease A/F, maybe fuel pressure?

You have to get steel braided line to run a nitrous gauge. I wouldn't recommend putting it on the pillar because if there is ever a leak, you could get sprayed in the face.2004 CE Corvette 10.86@132mph

What shirl said, Run the N20 gauge off the bottle, and an air/fuel and fuel pressure are probably the ones you want.
Whichever should work just fine, electrical are probably more accurate, but also more expensive for the most part.Comment

umm... electric n20 pressure guages are your friend [img]smile.gif[/img]
its not that expensive, when you price in the cost of another long braided line (doing a nhra legal install, with main feedline out of car, and not spliced into a T fitting in the pass compartment) and the required restrictor for "in case" it leaks.

autometer makes them, and sells them under their name as well, in a few series [img]smile.gif[/img]
But if your running the nx kit, i would get the nx one, as it has the cool logo.

I have the autometer electric on the a-pillar works great especially with my remote bottle opener since I don't have to check the spare tire well every 5 minutes while I'm waiting for the bottle to heat up. Plus on my friends LS1 he had a nitrous leak he could'nt figure out he resealed all the treads on everything with teflon paste still had the leak I went over to his house pulled off his a pillar and sure enought there was the leak.02 Firebird NX wet kit, MAFT,Coated pacesetter headers,ORP, Borla catback, !fra, whisper lid,NGK TR6\', taylor wires, hpp3, autometer gauges, 30th and 35th stripes,macewen silver gauge overlay, painted interior and calipers, ww spoiler, transgo shift kit, corvette servo, BMR stb,boxed lower control arms, custom subframe connectorsComment

Yup, no mechanical nitrous psi guage due to leaking in your face or worse!
Electric only.
TNT sells a set up where you can mount a psi box, w/ screen under the dash.

I’m new. I actually don’t own a Camaro or firebird. I do have a 2000 Camaro 3.8 fly by throttle and 4l60e. This is installed in a 1980 Triumph TR7...2 weeks ago -
Not much going on, replaced my Kenwood double din stereo with a Pioneer double din, the Kenwood had problems. Then replaced my power inverter for my reverse...2 weeks ago
